Monitor your taxi speed
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,594 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 275 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 31 at Ningbo Lishe International Airport (ZSNB). The takeoff distance was 539 meters, which accounted for 18% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 124 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 5°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 310°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Ningbo Lishe International Airport. The climb took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 27 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,113 feet above sea level to 20,940 feet above sea level, an increase of 19,826 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 7 miles north-east of Shangyu, China, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its first descent, which started 10 miles north-west of Shangyu. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 20,930 feet above sea level to 20,008 feet above sea level, a decrease of 922 feet. The enroute level cruise then began again, this time 4 miles east of Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 49 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its second descent, which started 12 miles west of Huzhou, China. The descent took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 53 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 19,895 feet above sea level to 5,227 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,668 feet. The enroute level cruise then began again, this time 14 miles north of Licheng, China, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its third descent, which started 18 miles east of Nanjing Lukou International Airport. The descent took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 4,602 feet above sea level to 1,316 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,286 feet. The final approach to runway 24 at Nanjing Lukou International Airport then began, with the aircraft approaching from the north-east at a heading of 238.0° and at an altitude of 1,264 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 24 at Nanjing Lukou International Airport, which had a length of 3,594 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed at 99 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 271 meters, and the touchdown speed was 90 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -126 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.5 meters from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,093 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centreline. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 192 nautical miles, and the flight took 55 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 515 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at ZSNJ Nanjing Lukou International Airport, achieving a score of 96.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 238.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,264 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 3°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 300°.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 24, which has a length of 3,594 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 100 knots, coming in at 99 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 271 meters. The touchdown speed of 90 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -126 feet per minute (fpm).
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6.5 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly off-centre by 8.3 meters. Despite these minor discrepancies, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, with the aircraft coming to a stop within 30% of the runway length, covering a total distance of 1,093 meters.
The local weather conditions, including a gentle headwind and crosswind of 1 knot each, did not significantly impact the landing performance. Overall, the pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the landing, achieving a high score of 96.3%.
